Gen. Logan's sudden Death

Is great shock to the nation. Few knew that he was even indisposed when he news of his death flashed over the wires and thou sands of people stood aghast at the sudden change from health and yigor to cold and si- lent death. For the past twenty five years there has been no man more constantly be- fore the public than General John A. Logan. Through all his career he has been noted for his fearlessness and purity of character, both in public and private life. Loved by friends and respected by enemies he will be mourned by all.
 His death adds another to the long list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so common as rheu- matism, none is more sudden or dangerous, and there is certainly none which SO com pletely baf1es medical skill.
 Only one remedy has yet been discovered which is sure and safe cure for rheuma- tism and it's twin disease, neuralgia, and that is Athlophoros. In thousands of cases Ash- lophoros has proved quick and certain cure for these diseases In connection with A th- lophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect cure.
 In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases, which are far more dangerous than is generally considered.
 Rheumatism, even though in very mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to the heart and cause instant death. Why trif1e with disease so fatal when certain cure can be obtained of any druggist?
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can- not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c for Pills
 For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, indiges- tiun weakness, nervous debility, diseases of wo- men, constipation, headache, impure blood, &c., Athlophoros Pills unequalled-

Everyone knows that cocoa is an excellent tonic. Taken in the morning at breakfast it has no equal for nutrition and strengthening qualities, but it can be taken with advantage at any time. It is especially recommended for nursing mothers, to whom it's benefits are invaluable. Unfortunately cocoa is some- times mixed with starch, arrowroot or sugar, and thus loses great part of it's special properties; hence great care should be taken to procure the best in the market. Bakers Breakfast Cocoa and Chocolate preparations have long been the standard of excellence and are guaranteed absolutely pure.
